Design Techniques for Industrial Application Control

Turbocharged Diesel Engine Fuzzy Modelling and Simulation-Based Control Design

Invited seminar for the students at the Universidad Politecnica Salesiana , Cuenca, Ecuador. Automation Mechatronics Solutions. January 24, 2025.

Talk's Abstract: This talk proposes a fuzzy modelling approach oriented to the design of a fuzzy controller for regulating the fresh airflow of a real diesel engine. This strategy has been suggested for enhancing the regulator design that could represent an alternative to the standard embedded BOSCH controller, already implemented in the Engine Control Unit (ECU), without any change to the engine instrumentation. The air system controller project requires the knowledge of a dynamic model of the diesel engine, which is achieved through the suggested fuzzy modelling and identification scheme. On the other hand, the proposed fuzzy Proportional Integral (PI) controller structure is straightforward and easy to implement, considering the different strategies proposed in the literature. The results obtained with the designed fuzzy controller are compared to those of the traditional embedded BOSCH controller.
